Let's have a discussion about ZoZo/Ouija/Paranormal BS

[Roysneon]

Well this got interesting

Indeed. My advice is don't fuck with ouija boards or anything half serious relating to anything occult. I'm sure there are others who would say do what you want because there's nothing behind them but some silly fun.

I say got for it, what the worst that can happen?

If anything, it'll make great reads on R3V

Probably demonic possesion, which can then afflict someone else.

[nando]

I have to say I agree.

Better to just leave well enough alone. There is some crazy shit that happens out there. I prefer to not be the source of the next exorcism movie.

you mean like that dumb bitch that knifed her toddlers to death because she thought they were possessed by demons?

I don't think that would even work to vanquish a demon. If it was true it would have fucked off and found a different host and got what it wanted, a mother cutting up her own kids. Shit's fucked.

[z31maniac]

As long as that belief didn't hurt me, who cares?

I agree.

Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, Christians have used the Bible as justification for war, slavery, misogyny, bigotry, etc.

And now in modern times they attempt to use it as an impediment to scientific advancement.

I didn't really believe in spirits and all that stuff until about a year ago when me and my ex girlfriend were trying to sleep. We heard what sounded like the familiar sound of muffled footsteps on carpet slowly going across our bedroom floor. There was a specific spot that creaked when you stepped on it. Well sure enough it sounded like the "thing" took two steps, on the third, it triggered the squeeky floarboard, and then 2 more steps my alarm clock across the room (lit by red light) was blocked out. And I don't mean it was off and then came back on, I mean like some solar eclipse shit, it was slowly blocked out. You could see an the edge where something blocked it out. After we wedged ourselves in the corner of the wall on the bed, it reversed it's direction and my alarm clock reverse eclipsed and was illuminated again. After what sounded like 2 muffled footsteps the floor was triggered again.

Yeah...I don't fuck with the spirits. I'm pagan now and this stuff is a no no no no no no no no no no!!!!!!!

[Fusion]

Did you have the fucking paralyzed body shit?
That happened to me on a couple occasions when weird shit happened and I certainly didn't like it.

So my aunt and uncle live in an old farm house in PA. The kind with a parlor, grand walnut stair case, and small staircase at the back of the house that connects the master bedroom to the kitchen/dining room. It was build in the late 1880s.

About 25 years ago when my twin cousins were about 10, my uncle goes downstairs in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. He sees what he thinks is one of his young daughters in the kitchen and asks her what she's doing up. She turns, refuses to answer him, and obviously doesn't look like his kid. He goes upstairs and asks my aunt if one of the the girls has a friend over (they have 6 kids, so one could miss this). She says no. He goes back downstairs, she's still there, he moves toward her and...poof, she disappears.

Fast forward six months/a year. The oldest son is on break from West Point and one his college buddies is staying with them. They didn't tell him about the incident because they didn't want to freak him out. The college buddy screams out in the middle of the night claiming to have seen people walking up and down the upstairs hall. I've never seen anything weird happen there, and they still live in the house. As my aunt says, she's never felt any "evil" presence there. Additionally, my uncle is quite a rational man who is not prone to the fantastical. I know he and my cousin's buddy both saw something.

Fixed. Just committed one of my own pet peeves. Nice sailing adventures, btw.

Ahahahhahaha.

FUCK.

THAT.

SHIT.

Maybe she was followed around by a demon and since she's an ex now, you won't have to worry about this sort of thing in the future as it was there for her, and not you? If we cross paths being as that we're local I'd hope that's the case. This totes has a parallel to Paranormal Activity but as soon as I read your account I thought to run with it.

I'm not religious and I'm a skeptic. I've witnessed things I can't explain, sure, but some things we may witness can shake you to the core. Our senses even our minds will look for an explainable reason to something, or it will create something outlandish, or it won't know how to react to a situation and you'll be left defenseless.

There are plenty of articles out there stating that the articles and story about what the first Exorcist movie was based on was simply a schizophrenic boy that repeated things he heard that priests say, or maybe not? It was a different time.

Funny enough just a few days ago I read this, decent read that you all may fancy:

[Exodus_2pt0]

Since we're on the topic. I know of one house that will turn any skeptic into a believer.

A friend of mine's Mom lives in a house in Antietam, MD. The house has blood stains in the wood floors from being used as a makeshift hospital after a battle.

I spent the night there with said friend one night, he had told me stories of lampshades moving and then stopping when looked at. Dressers moving themselves to block doors after leaving a room. China set's somehow shattering on the floor with noone around to knock them down.

The creepiest, this house has 2 back doors. They only use the one on the left, because of a dark sensation when near the one on the right. My friend will not use the door on the right, because he has felt someone grab him by the wrist when reaching for the door knob.

Anyway, on to my personal account of this house upon spending the night there. I was a skeptic, but this house creeps the hell out of me.

In his mothers room, there is a solid red line that circles the entire room about 4 feet off the ground. She has painted the room, and the red line comes back through the paint. I saw it myself.

The creepiest thing though, that takes the cake, is the fingerprints on the ceiling.

If looks as if a child was jumping on the bed, and dragging their fingers outwards from the lamp in the center of the ceiling. He told me about these, but when I saw them I about shit myself. Hundreds of fingerprints, and they don't go away.

He warned me that night when we went to sleep, that if I woke up in the middle of the night, just go back to sleep.

Sure enough, I woke up in the middle of the night. The light was on downstairs and I could hear what sounded like a television. I closed my damn eyes and went back to sleep. The next morning, I asked everyone in the house if they had stayed up late, and as it turned out, everyone had gone to bed early.

I know stuff like this is hard to swallow if you didn't experience it first hand, but that is my experience, and this is the first time sharing it.

So yea, I don't fuck with the other side. I figure I'll see it soon enough.


ETA: I know I said 2 different "creepiest" things, but I don't care... Because that place scared the shit out of me. Everything about it, right down to the crooked upstairs floors. I didn't even want to take a pee by myself.

I would not have stayed there. No fucking way. The thing is, if someone breaks in, you can punch them in the dick, smash them with a lamp, stab them, whatever but how the fuck to you fight a spirit? I think I have a few ideas but really I think that's one of the main things that freak me out about it.
